“Obviously it’s the first time FGR have been on FIFA, so for them to put that amount of detail into it is absolutely unbelievable.

“The guys are saying that we’re the first team outside of the top divisions to have it done so it’s a good feeling and the boys are really excited.”

Head of communications for Electronic Arts, Shaun White, said: "The Forest Green Rovers story is remarkable and we are excited to have the opportunity to work with them.

“Having won promotion to the Football League, we wanted to celebrate their debut appearance in FIFA 18 by bringing our face-capture technology to The New Lawn Stadium and allowing them to go through the same process as cover star, Cristiano Ronaldo, and all the top players from the biggest leagues around the world.”
